I think the Supreme Court was correct on this but I hope that the 6th Circuit finds that the sale was procedurally flawed/unfair. The price difference between what they received and the market value is pretty massive
I don’t understand how/why the government would be allowed to do this and not compensate the homeowner. This is a massive over step of state government. Stealing a property over $2200 that’s worth $200,000 is disgusting. They should have given the family the market value of the home, minus the $2200 they owed, or maybe just realized that the owed taxes was most likely a forgotten bill or a financial error and taken a more common sense route
I don’t know all the nitty gritty details here, but I feel like the homeowner had a way to resolve this before it got to this point. I am sure he wasn’t late on this tax by one day and the county showed up and took his house. I assume this went on for years and he either ignored or fought notices to pay.
